The elemental composition of amino acids is similar to that of the major structural components of the epithelial cells of the small intestine and other tissues. Therefore, their subcellular localization and concentration measurements are not possible by x-ray microanalysis. Radioactive isotope labeling: I131-tyrosine, Se75-methionine and S35-methionine have been successfully employed in numerous absorption and transport studies. The latter two have been utilized both in vitro and vivo, with similar results in the hamster and human small intestine. Non-radioactive Selenomethionine, since its absorption/transport behavior is assumed to be the same as that of Se75- methionine and S75-methionine could serve as a compound tracer for this amino acid.

AbstractDroplet microfluidics has emerged as a powerful technology for improving the culturing efficiency of environmental microorganisms. However, its widespread adoption has been limited due to considerable technical challenges, especially related to identification and manipulation of individual growth-positive droplets. Here, we combined microfluidic droplet technology with on-chip “fluorescent nucleic acid probe in droplets for bacterial sorting” (FNAP-sort) for recovery of growth-positive droplets and droplet microdispensing to establish an end-to-end workflow for isolation and culturing of environmental microbes. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the ability of our technique to yield high-purity cultures of rare microorganisms from a representative complex environmental microbiome. As our system employs off-the-shelf commercially available equipment, we believe that it can be readily adopted by others and may thus find widespread use toward culturing the high proportion of as-of-yet uncultured microorganisms in different biomes.
